Meg Stalter's Diet Coke Dress Is A Must-See
Whether she's creating the most iconic viral videos like 2021's hit "Hi Gay," or starring in the nine-time Emmy-winning show Hacks, Meg is really that girl.
If you recently saw her appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, which I believe is true performance art, you'd probably think, Wow, that actor is doing too much — and you'd be absolutely right.
Currently, Meg is the star of Lena Dunham's Netflix series Too Much, and like my incessant need to force puns into every conversation, it's a show that's so unapologetic it will unite old and new fans of Lena lore from start to finish. HBO's Girls hive, stand up. We are so back.
Speaking of unapologetic, Meg's comedic timing isn't something she's only mastered for TV and movies. Her red carpet appearances are something to look at like when she wore a Di Pesta dress with a prom queen sash flaunting that she's the "Best Gay Actor."
On July 17, at the Las Culturistas Culture Awards, a bunch of celebrities hit the carpet for Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers's zeigeisty award show, and everybody served up a different tasty dish of slayage.
The fourth annual installment of the show, named after Bowen and Matt's podcast Las Culturistas, will be televised for the first time in August.
Everybody and their mother were in attendance, including Alison Janney, Alison Brie and Dave Franco, Quinta Brunson, Ana Gasteyer, and Parvati Shallow.
And then, there was Meg.
She rocked a Diet Coke box bodice with a cute black skirt and a tasteful Diet Coke accessory, and the look will make you giggle, scratch your head, and snap your fingers simultaneously.
A fellow writer reminded me that this might be the impact of Lisa Barlow from The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, and honestly, I see the vision.
When talking to Variety's Marc Malkin, Meg said of her look, "This is not a brand deal, by the way. I'm trying to get more work. I'm trying to get a brand deal. It's what all the girls are doing."
Meg, I hope you get that brand deal because this ensemble is hilarious and creative. I hope she starts a trend because I would love to see somebody like Sabrina Carpenter dressed as a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup.
Too Much starring Meg and Will Sharpe is now streaming on Netflix.
The Las Culturistas Culture Awards are set to air on Aug. 5, on Bravo from 9-11 p.m. ET, and will be available to stream the next day on Peacock.

Loni Anderson tributes: Barbara Eden, more remember 'WKRP in Cincinnati' icon
Loni Anderson was a beloved figure, on and off the WKRP airwaves. The Emmy-nominated actress, who starred as receptionist Jennifer Marlowe on the classic sitcom "WKRP in Cincinnati," died at age 79 at a Los Angeles hospital on Sunday, Aug. 3, following "an acute prolonged illness," the actress' representative Cheryl J. Kagan confirmed to USA TODAY. Anderson would have turned 80 on Aug. 5. Anderson earned two Primetime Emmy nominations and three Golden Globe nods for her performance as Marlowe during the four-year run of "WKRP." Marlowe's savvy blonde bombshell persona helped transform Anderson into a sex symbol of the late 1970s and early '80s. From fellow actresses Barbara Eden and Morgan Fairchild to MTV VJ Martha Quinn, here's how stars are paying tribute to Anderson's entertainment legacy. Loni Anderson dies: Star of TV hit 'WKRP in Cincinnati' was 79 Barbara Eden "I Dream of Jeannie" star Barbara Eden mourned the death of her "dear friend" Anderson in an emotional X post, which featured a photo of the actresses posing together. "Like many, I am absolutely stunned and heartbroken," Eden wrote. "Our friendship has spanned many years, and news like this is never easy to hear or accept." Eden added: "She was a real talent, with razor smart wit and a glowing sense of humor" and "an impeccable work ethic." She ended: "Loni was a darling lady and a genuinely good person. … I am truly at a loss for words." Morgan Fairchild Morgan Fairchild, who costarred with Anderson in the 2023 Lifetime movie "Ladies of the '80s: A Divas Christmas," shared a throwback photo of the women on the set of the holiday dramedy and called Anderson "one of the genuinely nicest ladies I've ever worked with." "I am heartbroken to hear of the passing of the wonderful Loni Anderson!" Fairchild wrote in another X post. "We did Bob Hope specials together and a Christmas movie two years ago. The sweetest, most gracious lady! I'm just devastated to hear this." Loni Love Actress and comedian Loni Love reflected that she was "very sad to hear about the passing of Loni Anderson," who she affectionately described as a childhood idol in an X post. "I grew up watching this queen and was so thrilled to meet her," wrote Love alongside a photo of the pair. "Condolences to her family and fans." Martha Quinn TV personality and original MTV VJ Martha Quinn paid tribute to Anderson and her portrayal of Marlowe on "WKRP in Cincinnati." "An iconic character especially to radio geeks like me," Quinn wrote on X. "My deepest condolences to her loved ones, who number many." Robert Hays "Angie" and "Airplane!" star Robert Hays gushed that Anderson was a "dear friend" in his tribute to the late TV star. "She was an absolutely wonderful woman and friend, a wife, mother and grandmother," Hays wrote in an X post. "Loni is singing with the angels now." Contributing: Kim Willis, USA TODAY

29 Best TV Shows Canceled After One Season
We asked the BuzzFeed Community which canceled TV shows need to come back for at least one more season. Here's what they said: The Acolyte (2024) "People hated it because it was dark and made the Jedi look bad. Um, The Clone Wars (animated series) did that. The Jedi weren't perfect, which was the point of the show. Disney needs to finish what it started."—bmw1138 Sweet/Vicious (2016–2017) "That show was absolutely amazing and really empowered me. It's so unfair it was canceled." —kxllynxcxlx My Lady Jane (2024) "Perfect (and highly rated) season. It's the historical retelling of a queen, it has strangers/enemies to lovers/forced marriage tropes, and shapeshifters exist! Need it renewed nowww!"—grumpypumpkin44 I Am Not Okay With This (2020) "I really miss I Am Not Okay With This. They left off on a pretty huge cliffhanger."—maybbeyesmaybbeno"That show was so good and deserved at least two seasons! They left it on kind of a cliffhanger. 😥"—furrywitch58 I Love That for You (2022) "I Love That for You stars Vanessa Bayer as a woman who lands her dream job as a QVC-like host, and as a last-ditch effort to keep from getting fired, she lies about having cancer. The whole thing is funny and dark and charming, and it's actually inspired by Bayer's real-life battle with childhood leukemia."—Spencer Althouse Ghosted (2017–2018) "Everything is right about the entire cast and storyline."—vinswe Dead Boy Detectives (2024) "This show had such good queer representation, and besides, was near-perfect with their casting, and the premise was interesting as well. I genuinely do not know what possessed Netflix to cancel it."—thviony"Dead Boy Detectives deserved more time. Fans have been waiting for this show since the original duo from Doom Patrol was recast. Lukas Gage as Cat King was also iconic and ICONIC queer supernatural representation."—reneb4b1d76327"Dead Boy Detectives is a brilliant show and absolutely deserves to top this list. It is everything: fun, funny, quirky, heartfelt, and brilliantly, unapologetically queer. If you haven't seen it yet, you absolutely should. It wraps up neatly at the end of the season, with all of the major character arcs completed. It's my favorite show in years, easily."—asidian"I was absolutely GUTTED when they cancelled Dead Boy Detectives. It's such a great, solid show. Amazing acting, writing, set design, costuming, music, the works. They peppered in so many hidden details that every rewatch is rewarding. And all of that without even mentioning the stellar representation. Real bonehead move by Netflix."—purpleskull745 Teenage Bounty Hunters (2020) "I loved it and was really disappointed when it got canceled."—peacefulmoon808 Archive 81 (2022) "It had a great story that unfortunately didn't get to finish."—bougielion556 My So-Called Life (1994) "Any of these lists that don't include My So-Called Life are just wrong."—surprisedsquid571 Almost Human (2013) Pitch (2016) "Pitch deserved more than 10 episodes. Plus, it ended with a cliffhanger!"—brandonm4b1db21b4 The Brink (2015) "The Brink deserved a second season and the writers set up the second season with the ending of the first season. It had a great cast, great story, and it was hilarious. I haven't heard why HBO decided to cancel that show. I've always wanted the writers of cancelled shows to provide an outline of how the rest of the show would have played out so the fans can get some closure."—hlane09 Kindred (2022) "I know it's a book too, but it was SUCH a good show — they left that poor man in the past and just canceled the show like wtf?!?!?"—j4287b3497 How to Die Alone (2024) "A brand new one recently cancelled was How to Die Alone, created by and starring Natasha Rothwell. You might recognize her as Belinda in The White Lotus or Kelli on Insecure. Mel is a broke JFK airport employee who has never experienced love; a near-death accident inspires her to dream and live life again. It's warm, charming, and funny. I liked it a lot, watched it twice through already and am super bummed Hulu isn't picking it up."—joandough The Gates (2010) "It had one season, left on a cliffhanger, was set for Season 2, then it was axed. But man, it was a good show."—lyrablack Panic (2021) "What a great show. Plus, it has Ray Nicholson, the son of Jack Nicholson!! This show truly showed his depth into acting and out of his dad's shadow."—chrystinamecca A League of Their Own (2022) "I was heartbroken when I heard it was canceled."—ejt263"First, Prime Video said it was renewed, then only for four episodes, and finally canceled. A real gut punch to a show with such heart and potential."—buttercupbailey Night Sky (2022) "One season and then it just left us hanging. Pissed me off so much! It was really frustrating that they didn't finish it. I don't want to invest my time in TV shows anymore..."—teri_dactyl Deadly Class (2019) "I love the characters and I was so sad when I heard it was canceled."—lazyzebra25 High Fidelity (2020) "It was so irritating to only have one season."—brookemonaco Spinning Out (2020) "The plot was SO good. It was so refreshing for a teen drama to not fit the same high school cookie cutter setting. The acting was high quality, too. This show was perfectly cast, and all of the actors were so amazing. It was unreal! This show covered real issues that people deal with, like mental health. The final episode was set up to imply a second season... I really wish we had the opportunity to see it." —wallows Julie and the Phantoms (2020) "The cliffhanger was too brutal to not give us more episodes. And the MUSIC we're missing out on without a second season? Unreal omg."—denydenydeny"This was when I REALLY started distancing myself from Netflix, and I've had trust issues ever since. 😭"—lilqueenb19"They left us with a cliffhanger, and I can't accept that."—oddhouse282 Firefly (2002) "Firefly definitely should have had more seasons. Excellent writing, great characters, a western in space show."—artisticsedan585 Reboot (2022) "Reboot is a comedy about a group of actors from a 2000s sitcom whose show is getting rebooted in the present day. Much like 30 Rock, what follows is a behind-the-scenes look at 'a show within a show,' along with its highly dysfunctional cast. It's topical, clever, and just plain good."—Spencer Althouse Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies (2023) "I was one of the lucky TV watchers who got to see Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies before it was canceled and taken off of Paramount+, and ooof this one hurt. This show had truly some of the most incredible performances by up and coming actors, like I was absolutely floored by the amount of sheer talent this cast possessed. Like, these writers literally gave us MULTIPLE original songs every episode, and the production quality was so incredible that it was like watching mini music videos. Not only was it just a fun take on the movie we know so well, but this series felt so much more inclusive in ways the 1978 movie wasn't. The LGBTQ+ and BIPOC storylines gave the series so much more depth, and I'm so heartbroken those arcs won't get to be explored anymore." —Lauren Garafano"Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies most definitely needs a final season. That show was very entertaining, and the only television show using a musical theme drove the show. I love it, miss it, and want it back!!!"—freshsealion58 The Society (2019) "I swear I think about this cancelation at least twice a week. It's this Lord of the Flies-esque story but set in this fictional town in Connecticut, and I ate it up. One of the things that made me so angry was that the series DID get renewed for a second season, but the renewal got reversed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Like, at this point I don't even care that the cast is significantly older and it wouldn't even make sense to do a second season. I NEED IT!!!! The Season 1 cliffhanger is truly one of those TV mysteries that haunts me — I just wanna know what happened! Let me at least read the Season 2 script!! Please!!!"—Lauren Garafano"The Society needs a Season 2. I think it's unfair how its renewal was reversed despite it having a much better storyline than some shows."—savorygoat961"I have watched The Society over and over. I even watch the YouTube music videos dedicated to Campbell and Elle and Harry, etc.. I'M SO VERY DISAPPOINTED with Netflix for taking this away from us. Stop screwing around already and renew our shows!!!"—fancybutterfly176"I think about this show like three times a week. The acting was good and the mystery was good, a lot better done than a lot of shows with this nothing. I was really excited to see how it wrapped up. Also, it was fascinatingly realistic(ish). Please, even just the script for Season 2."—velaris9173 Freaks and Geeks (1999–2000) "I was devastated when Freaks and Geeks was canceled, but that was probably the best thing that could have happened to the young actors on that show. Almost all of them have become super successful and it's unlikely that would have happened if the show had gone on for a long time. Secondly, I read an interview with Paul Feig once and his plans for the second season were AWFUL. So it's just as well that it ended when it did!"—nastymagazine42"After only one season, the show didn't get the chance it deserved. It had classic lines and meme-able scenes, too. The show was set up for a second season it never got." —tessap439fbd8db"Does Lindsay follow the Grateful Dead? All of those actors were incredible, and it was such a fun vibe. Plus, I need to know what happens!"—doribullerman And finally, AJ and the Queen (2020) "As soon as you get invested in the characters, the show ends on a cliffhanger. It was something that I've never seen before on TV. I loved it." —sierram43e95c428"I need to know if they go back on the road, or did the new club ever open. You can't just leave it with them hugging in the grass after AJ found out her mom didn't write the letters!"—vikings_girl What shows do you think deserve another season? Let us know in the comments!

Detective on 'Yogurt Shop Murders' is 'confident' he'll solve 34-year-old cold case
In 1991, four teenage girls were killed at a frozen yogurt shop in Austin, then roughly half the size the booming city is now. Eliza Thomas, 17, Amy Ayers, 13, and sisters Jennifer Harbison, 17, and Sarah Harbison, 15, were fatally shot at I Can't Believe It's Yogurt!, formerly located in North Austin. The girls were then set on fire. Nearly 34 years later, the case remains unsolved, and the person(s) responsible walk free, if they're even alive. The grizzly crime, its impact on the victims' families and the decades-long search for the perpetrator(s) are chronicled in HBO's four-part docuseries, 'The Yogurt Shop Murders,' that premiered Aug. 3 (weekly Sundays, 10 ET/PT). Academy Award-winning actor Emma Stone and her husband Dave McCary are executive producers of the project directed by Margaret Brown. Reese Price, the shop's manager recalls the horror of identifying the girls so their families wouldn't have to. Price was just 24 at the time. 'There wasn't anything there to identify,' she remembers in the docuseries. 'Fire is very destructive. It's not forgiving.' Archival footage puts viewers at the yogurt shop on the night of the killings, and Brown says there are 'characters in our show (who) have never talked to anyone else, and we have some facts in our show that have never been explored.' She adds, 'These people went through something so specifically awful, but I do think there's something in that for everyone. We're all going to experience pain, and I felt like for me, this was a way to look at this fascinating case, at the same time an exploration of how do people deal with something this hard (and) what can we learn from that?' Brown remembers when she moved to Austin in the late '90s when she says billboards asking for information on the case plastered the sky. One of the reasons she signed on for the project is 'because a lot of my friends who are crime reporters said this is the most interesting crime that exists,' Brown says in an interview. 'There's not one with more rabbit holes. This is the mothership of interesting crime.' Rumors linger in the city like Texas summer heat, Brown says. 'Before I talked to you, some woman wrote me on Instagram (saying) she solved it,' Brown says. 'I think that people are obsessed with it.' In 2022, Detective Dan Jackson was assigned the case on his first day with the Austin Police Department's cold case unit. The 45-year-old who was raised about 30 miles southwest of Austin in San Marcos remembers hearing about the murders as a child. 'It's such a huge case,' Jackson tells USA TODAY. 'I sort of knew at that point I would be with it forever.' When asked about why the case remains open today Jackson points to the crime scene and potential evidence scorched by fire and drenched by hoses to extinguish the blaze. Two men were previously found guilty in connection to the crimes. Robert Springsteen received a death sentence in 2001 for killing Ayers, and Michael Scott was sentenced to life for the death of Ayers the following year. But their convictions were overturned. Scott and Springsteen declined to be in the docuseries, Brown says. But Springsteen is captured in footage previously filmed for another project around 2009. Springsteen shocks a sales associate helping him find clothes for an interview and court when he says, 'I'm sure you probably think it's really funny, but we're doing a documentary because I just got off death row.' A DNA sample from the crime scene belongs to neither Scott nor Springsteen. Jackson is hoping to build a profile from the sample that leads him to a suspect. 'One of the things that we want the public to know is that this case is active,' he says. 'It's constantly worked on.' And Jackson remains optimistic as forensic technology continues to improve. 'If I didn't think I could solve it then why get up every day?' he says. 'I think that with new technology, new information that we have − that I can't go into − even since I've taken the case over, the ability to do more with less when it comes to forensics is light years ahead than it was a few years ago. When I started, we needed a certain amount (of DNA). We weren't even close to it, but that amount that you need is so much less now.' He adds, 'I am confident that I will solve this.' He's also hopeful that the docuseries could lead to the tip that cracks open the case. 'Somebody out there knows something,' he says. 'That's one of the things with cold cases is that you do get people overtime that, for whatever reason, may not have been willing to come forward years ago that now feel more comfortable. Or they thought it was something small and didn't ever say anything and they're like well, maybe I should call in this time and mention it. Who knows? It could be the break we need.'
